Justin Upton Trade Official

In Atlanta, Justin Upton will join his brother BJ Upton in the outfield. Add in Jason Heyward and the Braves suddenly may have the best outfield in all of baseball.

As for the D’Backs, this is a difficult trade to swallow. Yes, they got a lot of players in return. But Justin Upton is a player with superstar potential. If he explodes, they will look foolish.
